Progressive Academy
Tennis for Kids Aged 5 to 11
This is a new international trend in developing U10 players. Just like in many sports, players in the Progressive Tennis Academy use scaled down racquets, courts and balls appropriate to the size of the child. Our coaches will let players know when they have sufficiently mastered the skills to progress into the competitive programs.
